The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) is the most inclusive international and intergovernmental platform that enables cross-sector partnerships and ensures that stakeholders work together towards food security and nutrition rights for all. It has been put in place to review policies and proposals concerning global food security systems, including production processes, physical and economic access to food, and equality.
This year’s plenary will be the fifty-first session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS 51), with a spotlight on “Making a Difference in Food Security and Nutrition.” The event will focus on a series of key themes, including gender equality and women and girl’s empowerment, strengthening global dialogues and coordination around the food crisis, and facilitating and enabling policy discussion and monitoring to address multiple dimensions of inequality surrounding food security and nutrition.
